CITIZEN'S CHARTER
Government of Pondicherry

Rearing of livestock has played key role in the development of rural economy and it has become a way of life. Bulk of the livestock products come from small and non­commercial farmers. These farmers are mostly poor and have limited capacity in knowing the Government Programmes. No livestock improvements programme can make headway unless the implementation of strategy developed among all people a sense of active involvement.

An integral aspect of administrative reforms both in the short term and in the longer perspective is related to the speedy and easy access of information to the public on the services and activities of Government. There are considerable delays in redressal of grievances and securing access to information, since Government departments with a public service interface do not have a mechanism to provide information to the citizens. Therefore special efforts have to be made in this regard.

Keeping this in view, the Directorate of Animal Husbandry has already initiated action to ensure widespread and easy access of citizens to information at various levels in the Department and its field institutions. As part of the programme to disseminate information on public services to the public, this Department has published a brochure containing the information regarding services, schemes and procedures.

The Salient features of the Charter are:

The Department has nominated Public Relation Officers for all regions. The livestock owners / poultry farmers can contact these officers for any information / technical guidance and redress all of their grievances.
